I just gave PF MatchIT a try, and coming from a compositing background, I REALLY like the node based workflow that it offers. When I worked at Frantic Films (Prime Focus) they used Syntheyes pretty heavily, and I tried to pick up a few things here and there, but I just found the app a pain in the ass to use. The workflow wasn't totally clear, and the UI is just god awful.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with both of these apps, and can give me some guidance where to put my time and money.
Thanks!

I have some experience with both and Syntheyes consistently comes out better in terms of the camera solves it computes. Honestly speaking, even though the UI is nicer in PFMatchit I actually find BOTH UIs awful – so for me it’s down to what computes faster and more accurately, and this is Syntheyes.
